Lol just kidding.

There have been a few sugar posts lately so I thought I would link a blog post on it.

    Great title--really draws us in! However, I like sugar. It's just like anything else though, too much of a good thing can be very bad.

    the thing that always amuses me is when (non-diabetic) people try to equate the sugar in fruit to pure table sugar or sodas.

    It is the same sugar (glucose and fructose, in various combinations, mainly).

    The difference is either the amount, the form (which may affect how satiating it is), or what else it's with. I wrote a whole post about how people focus on the sugar when the only difference is the crowd the sugars hang with. (Which is also the point OP and others were making.)

    No one is equating foods, but YOU miss the point if you try to make it about sugars being different.
